It's 2015! I know, I know. I'm only 3 weeks late - but I still wanted to wish everyone a great new year.

2014 was an incredible year and I am so thankful for all the opportunities I had. I got to:

Work with dream clients

Join Happy Happy Art Collective

Immerse myself in an amazing passion project

Travel to NYC to walk Surtex

Survive my first-ever speaking engagement

And of course, I can't forget all of the new skills I learned, all the awesome connections I made, and all of the crazy things I tried - how did I get so lucky?

I am in starting the new year in a great place, and I hope it only gets better. In the first few weeks, big things are already brewing, which is making me super excited to sink my teeth in and get moving. Though - in order to make time for these new opportunities, I have decided to take a break from creating the desktop calendars. I have loved making them over the last four years, but it has been harder and harder to prioritize them as I get busier. I do want to create some desktop/mobile wallpapers from time to time, just so you have something to beautify your space, but it won't be on a regular basis. I hope you understand!

Have a wonderful year and I am going to leave you with some hand-lettered inspiration:
